Artist Teresa Steinbach-Garcia will be at Main Street Cellars in Winters, 9 East Main St. from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 26, for a show of her pastels.
Steinbach-Garcia works in a painterly realistic style and combines her background in watercolor with pastels to capture nuances of light and place, and interpret her impressions of the natural and human-made world.

Her work has been featured in the Crocker Art Auction, the Crocker Kingsley, the Pence Gallery in Davis and recently the live auction to support the American River.

Wine Appreciation: Main Street Cellars

How do experts recognize, identify and describe wines? In this class students will learn what to look for in a glass of wine and how to describe it. The instructor will identify the world’s major growing regions and discuss the process of grape growing and its vital importance to the success or failure of the wine and the winemaker. Finally, students will learn strategies for making good or even great food and wine matches and learn why some combinations work and some do not. There will be no wine tasting during this class.
